Transfer Day!

Today was such an exciting day!  We talked to the Dr. before the transfer and he explained the ratings of the embryos and what he recommends.  We got six eggs and all six fertilized, but they all end up differently.  The rating scale they have is: Excellent, good, fair and poor.  When we did Presley we put in three, one was good and two were fair.  Today we had one that was excellent, three were fair and two were poor.  Two of the fair were better than the third.  So we decided we would do the Excellent one and two of the fair.  The other three will stay in culture for three more days.  If they last we can freeze them and use them at a latter date.  The Dr. really does not think they will make it, but of course it is worth a try.
He also told us how the Egyptians are really good at InVitro technology and that over a year ago they starting putting just a little of the HCG hormone inside the uterus about 5 minutes before the transfer because all the embryos have a little HCG in the fluid around them.  They thought that it may help with the process.  They found in a study of 60 women that it did help 15% more often on the day three transfer, but did not notice a difference on day 5.  So the clinic I go to has also been trying for the last year on 90 women and had the same results, so he recommended we do the same since it was a day three transfer.  So of course anything to increase our chances I am for, so we also did that today.  I'm feeling really good about the whole process and I am so anxious to find out if it worked and if it does how many babies.  :)
So now we just wait...for two weeks!!!  So keep praying for us!
Thanks so much we can feel all the love and support from you all.
